Overview

The MCUXpresso SDK provides a driver for the cTimer module of MCUXpresso SDK devices.

Function groups

The cTimer driver supports the generation of PWM signals, input capture, and setting up the timer match conditions.

Initialization and deinitialization

The function CTIMER_Init() initializes the cTimer with specified configurations. The function CTIMER_GetDefaultConfig() gets the default configurations. The initialization function configures the counter/timer mode and input selection when running in counter mode.

The function CTIMER_Deinit() stops the timer and turns off the module clock.

PWM Operations

The function CTIMER_SetupPwm() sets up channels for PWM output. Each channel has its own duty cycle, however the same PWM period is applied to all channels requesting the PWM output. The signal duty cycle is provided as a percentage of the PWM period. Its value should be between 0 and 100 0=inactive signal(0% duty cycle) and 100=always active signal (100% duty cycle).

The function CTIMER_UpdatePwmDutycycle() updates the PWM signal duty cycle of a particular channel.

Match Operation

The function CTIMER_SetupMatch() sets up channels for match operation. Each channel is configured with a match value: if the counter should stop on match, if counter should reset on match, and output pin action. The output signal can be cleared, set, or toggled on match.

Input capture operations

The function CTIMER_SetupCapture() sets up an channel for input capture. The user can specify the capture edge and if a interrupt should be generated when processing the input signal.

Typical use case

Match example

Set up a match channel to toggle output when a match occurs. Refer to the driver examples codes located at <SDK_ROOT>/boards/<BOARD>/driver_examples/ctimer

PWM output example

Set up a channel for PWM output. Refer to the driver examples codes located at <SDK_ROOT>/boards/<BOARD>/driver_examples/ctimer
